John 6:5-9 Part 2 of 2

When Jesus looked up and saw a great crowd coming toward him, he said to Philip, "Where shall we buy bread for these people to eat?" He asked this only to test him, for he already had in mind what he was going to do. Philip answered him, "It would take more than half a year's wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!" Another of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, spoke up, "Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go with so many?" 

It would take more than half a year's wages to buy enough bread for each one to have a bite!

Mark 6:37  But he answered, "You give them something to eat." They said to him, "That would take more than a half year's wages! Are we to go and spend that much on bread and give it to them to eat?"
Luke 9:13a  He replied, "You give them something to eat."

Here is a boy with five small barley loaves and two small fish, but how far will they go with so many?
